The trouble with most of these camera comparisons is the time they spend dwelling on minor saturation and colour temperature differences that can easily be adjusted to suit personal preferences with basic sliders on included editing software. Leaving little or no attention to the things that do matter to photographers viz image resolution, sharpness, bokeh, dynamic range, exposure accuracy etc...
Normal users don't have time to manipulate every single photo. It's one of the important tasks softwares SHOULD do
I've been using the S24 Ultra camera the most lately. In good lighting its on par with most of what i take on my Pixel 8 Pro or 15 Pro Max. As soon as light starts leaving the scene, i just don't like the results. Idk if its the 200MP sensor they're using, but the Pixel 8 Pro outdoes it a lot. I do love the rest of the phone!
Try reducing the pixel-binning on the S24 Ultra (like she did in the video). Your results will likely often look better, although the colors will still be punchier than what the Pixel generates.
How's the battery life on them?? I have a Pixel 7 and am looking at the 8 Pro or S24U, with trade in the S24U would only be $100 more than the 8 Pro. I'm assuming cameras on either should be better than my Pixel 7.
@@AQUARIAN208 No complaints on battery for either. The S24 Ultra does last longer, but the Pixel 8 Pro is definitely the better "point-and-shoot" camera between the two when you start pressing extra options.
Give me Samsung's hardware and Googles camera. I wish they could get together and make a pixel edition, like back in the day when Samsung had the Google play edition
If you have the time to edit color can be adjusted, so the Google works just as well. It's the difference for discussion when you compare a jpeg vs raw. You have to edit the raw to achieve the true color balance but the raw gives you more image density to work with. So in this case I'll take the Google and adjust.
ME, I like when a photo looks life like. Not what looks better to the eye.
I want genuine colors.
I can always edit that to my preference.
you guys need to take pictures of Animals. Anyone that owns cats or dogs take a LOT of pictures of them. The S23 camera was REALLY bad at fur. it looked like a smeared mess all the time. Not to mention my animals weren't even close to the color Samsung spit out. worst camera I have had one smart phone in the last 6 years.
Agree.. sick of these tech channels like this not calling it out.
That you for your review! How is noise on both phones?
I've been ''team Samsung'' for a decade. Wanted to try out Pixel 8 Pro this year, but it is expensive in my country (s24ultra is similarly priced) so I will stick with Samsung.
Where did you get that cassette ring
Pixel for photos, Samsung for video. Google needs to work on it's video low light noise reduction. It just isn't good enough.
It's 2024 why do companies STILL crop to 12 megapixels, 16 megapixels would be much better & improve the image quality if the user wants to crop in after the photos taken.
Good question It's probably cuz the majority of their software still belongs in old phone formats because most people still have the older phones as a whole. So if they change it it would mess up the software that's supposed to accommodate all the phones. Especially if you have a Google One membership.
Love CNET ❤️
I was with Samsung for 10 years just got my pixel and still pretty satisfied least we can still say this Pixel and Samsung will always best iPhone lol
That's a great man once said..... FINALLY!!!!
You can turn the saturation down in the s24 ultra. I usually do.
How they look?
@@hellomouse2354 better. Still over smoothened. I wish phone companies would stop trying to make photos "look better" and just take a picture as it looks.
@@cgwworldministries83 agreed I have a separate device for pictures but I would love to have it on my phone too
What about motion blur and shutter lag?
I replaced my last generation Google Pixel with the newest Samsung due to battery life. I'm still getting used to it, but noticed that the Samsung has a lot more blur with movement taking photos and haven't found any option yet to correct this. The google Pixel gave options to choose a better shot. If anyone has any recommendations, that would be great!
Nothing you can do, been a Samsung issue for years
@@mrkring1526 That sucks, especially when it’s supposed to be “the best camera on the market.” B.S.
The S24 Ultra pictures were a lot better!
no
I have both and google is very very nice!
Been with Samsung for 10 years just got my pixel 8 pro has not disappoint me least we can say this Samsung and pixel will dominate iphones lol
In India pixel 8 pro, Samsung galaxy s24 and iPhone 15 pro Max all the three are priced same only with around 50 usd apart😅😅😅
I think camera pros should handle the camera comparisons, we need to go deeper than this superficial automatic computer generated imagery comparison.
Random observation... Cnet hasn't responded or liked and comments after a day of views.
Not sure if you all know, a huge camera update is coming to the ultra in a few days.
Update came out today. What improvements have they made? Because I cant tell.
@@pbeternal99 just look up some RUclips videos about it. They're supposed to be camera and display improvements.
I'm confused. Where's the ultrawide comparison??
I want both ❤
I don't like Samsung phones but no BS. Samsung won against My Pixel but that's ok, we all benefit as consumers 😹
May just be a pet peeve. But does it bother anyone else when someone holds the s24's cameras upside down?
LMFAOOOO lowkey me too
I have a Pixel Pro 7 and the camera is great, HOWEVER, its network connectivity problems (i.e., cell network, wifi to LAN computers, etc.) are so glaring that I unfortunately have to toss phone. For example, I have to reboot my home router, and/or, restart the phone to access files on my LAN machines---and even then it only works sporatically with either the connection or copy/paste of files only working sometimes. There are many complaints in online reviews that point this out---it appears to be a problem that Google is aware of but is slow to fix. Too slow for me. Going to go with Samsung.
It takes 2 seconds to adjust the settings for a perfect photo
Pixel will always remain better camera option
How many months have the Pixel been out. Look at that cheap scratched camera bar. When will they stop skimping on hardware.
I agree that the chrome on the bar scratches too easily, but most people are going to use their Pixel with a case to protect their investment.
Also, if rumors become reality, the Pixel 9 series will have a redesigned camera bar, so we'll see if Google makes it more scratch-resistant; perhaps anodized or something similar ?
Not a valid comparison. The best processing is done at 12mp on S24U.
The "pro mode" on Samsungs also adds a lot of value. 🎉
The color saturation on Samsung was always the reason to not buy it. If you want color saturation you can edit afterwards and still have the natural original picture
Samsung is the best
I would like to buy samsung galaxy s24 ultra 😊
All these review websites always sight Samsung as being more expensive, BS! When it comes to trade-in deals Sammy is king. I got my pre-order S24 ultra with double storage free, free cases, and 550 trade in value. I got mine for cheap. Google and Apple give you peanuts for trade in value. I'd like to see this mentioned ONCE in these videos. S24 Ultra has no peers
All fair points, but keep in mind: Not everyone has a late-model smartphone to trade in, and some phones (like Pixels, Motorolas, etc) have _much_ lower trade-in values with OEMs and carriers.
So, "the price is the price", everything else is relative, because carrier specials/incentives and trade-in "mileage" will vary.
In my view, once premium flagships reached the $1K-$1,500 level - what a consumer might spend on a decent laptop - they ALL became very arguably overpriced ! 😩 🤑
Hardware is not enough because we reached the limits of the physics, now the software makes a big difference and Google with its Pixel wins hands down in every category. ☮️☮️☮️
When it comes to video, there's no contest. I upgraded from the Pixel 7 pro to s24 Ultra. The video quality of the Pixel was so bad. Super overprosesed and artificial looking with lots of blocking and compression artifacts. The s24 Ultra blows the Pixel out of the water.
I love my pixel 8 but hate the fact you can't use smart view this is annoying
Let's say you want to take a picture 📸 of the moon which one is better and closer Samsung mine has a 30 times zoom since it's 4 years old. So best one is the newest one of course. Not the Google pixel 8 nor the iPhone since it's only got 5 x zoom.
Talking about moon photography with cell cameras is like talking about taking a kia to a race track.
Still prefer Samsung
Phew! We were wondering!
Thanks! I was about to ask you that!!
You can’t beat stock android
Samsung all the way
Omg...samsung beat pixel in camera section .. disappointed
I prefer the Ultra. (This week's S24 Ultra software update will make the photos a LOT better, by the way).
What about the video?
This is the most boring S24 ultra comparison I’ve seen so far. She just speaks in a monotone 🙁
Why does Samsung oversaturate their photos. Looks horrible.
Now get a moving subject in the picture and Samsung falls apart!
***************
Pixel and iPhone spank Samsung.
They all have their strengths and weaknesses. To start, Pixels and iPhones may have the most "realistic" stills, but as you can see from her comparisons, sometimes the punchier, saturated colors of Samsung make for a better pic. iPhones bend toward a "warm" (sometimes even orange-y) tint, and Pixels can produce "flat", less-contrasty shots.
Samsungs have the best tele-zooms - now including Nightography with the S24 Ultra - but I rate Pixels first and iPhones second for general Night mode (standard & wide-angle lenses/sensors).
From what I've seen, iPhone is still king for quickest-to-shutter & burst rates. Samsung has improved its phones' notorious "shutter lag" issue, but they can still sometimes blur people & animals in motion.
For video, iPhone is second to none when it comes to stabilization, Pro Res & S-log features, and the iPhone 15 Pro series can now record directly to an external SSD.
But for the vast majority of consumers, Samsung & Pixel video quality is more than enough, and even some content creators utilize them to shoot their Shorts, long-form content, and/or livestream. Samsungs even have the option to record in 8K ! 😮
In your own dream
Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is the best ever!
iPhone users crying rn
Crying about what ?
@@hienho15 that their cameras aren't as good as either of these
@@AvatarAang926 is that a fact or an opinion?
I dont understand people and there natural colors . I love samsungs vivid colors . If you want natural colors just stare at the object for 5 hours .
You probably think mcdonalds excuse for food tastes good too, don't you?
@@uhoh7541 oh so delicious
You are better off deal with Apple product😊
Again boring pictures comparison. Please stop this useless usage. Compare by doing battery life and of all connections capabilities @ Himalaya and GUAM ocean depths connection @ 35,876 ft comparison capabilities. Which is best of highest and lowest depth. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
